A Helping Hand to Healing

Wayne UNC Health Care’s Rehabilitation program is committed to keeping the people of our community safe and healthy. We want you to LiveWell, and we’re working hard to see that you do. Our rehabilitation staff works with schools, businesses and many other community groups to provide education, injury prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation. Research clearly shows that patients have better outcomes and recover more quickly when they know what to expect and become involved in their health care.

We believe another critical element of the rehabilitation team is family. We encourage family members to participate in not only the plan of care, but also in the healing process of their loved ones. The more people who join our team, the faster and better chance for the patient’s full recovery.
